"How does everyone feel?" Chen Xinniang asked. "There's a time limit to how long this formation can be activated. Although it's broken, we broke it by force. When the moon comes out, the formation will automatically recharge itself and return to its original state. We won't be able to enter then!"
"What? The formation will return to its original state? Does that mean we still have to break the formation when we come out? "Mo Xiangyin asked in surprise.
"That's right. Now do you know why I said I didn't do it on purpose? If something happens to everyone, I'll be trapped inside even if I go in myself! "Chen Xinniang said.
Everyone nodded after hearing this. However, Xiao Chen was a little puzzled. Since there was such a reason, why didn't Chen Xinniang mention it earlier? Wouldn't this reason be more convincing than Grandma Nanshan's explanation for her?
However, it was really strange that she didn't mention it earlier.
Very soon, Xiao Chen's injuries were healed. As for the others, they stood up one after another after consuming the medicinal pills.
"Now, everyone follow me into the formation. Don't act blindly without thinking and don't touch anything in the cave. Do you understand?" Chen Xinniang reminded them.
Everyone nodded. They had just experienced the power of the formation, so they didn't dare act blindly without thinking. They followed Chen Xinniang and entered the cave one by one …
Inside the cave, there was a luminous pearl embedded every few meters. If these luminous pearls were auctioned in the secular world, each of them would fetch a sky-high price. However, in these ancient ruins, they were only used as street lights.
Qiao Enze and Cheng Tianqiu looked at the luminous pearls with greed in their eyes. Their status was relatively low, so they were considered existences that spent their days in the secular world. Therefore, their desire for money was especially strong. When they saw the luminous pearls, they liked them very much. They wanted to take a few of them back with them!
If this item were to be taken out, it would definitely be priceless.
Cheng Tianqiu gave Qiao Enze a look. The two of them deliberately lagged behind the others. Soon, the two of them were at the back of the group. Then, Qiao Enze took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to reach for the luminous pearls from the wall.
However, just as his hand touched the Night-Luminescent Pearl, an arrow came out of nowhere and pierced through Qiao Enze's shoulder. Qiao Enze immediately let out a wail …
"F * ck me …" Jon Enze knelt on the ground in pain. His face was pale. He didn't know what the arrowhead was smeared with, but when it hit his body, he felt excruciating pain. It was as if his heart was being torn apart, and he wanted to die.
When everyone heard the exclamation, they turned their heads and saw Qiao Enze lying on the ground!
"What happened?" Chen Xinniang was shocked. She looked at them and asked in a deep voice, "What did you do!?"
"I didn't move. I don't know where the poison arrow came from. It hurts so much. Chen Xinniang, why didn't you tell me!" Qiao Enze naturally refused to admit that he had touched the night pearl.
"That's impossible! I was walking in front and you guys were walking behind me. How could I be hit by an arrow?" Chen Xinniang was confused.
"Look at the dust on the luminous pearl. There are traces of it being touched. Are you trying to steal the luminous pearl?" Xiao Chen pointed at the luminous pearl on Qiao Enze's head and mocked him.
"Ah, sure enough!" Song Hua Wu also saw that the luminous pearl had traces of it being touched. Obviously, it was caused by Qiao Enze's greed!
"Didn't I tell you not to touch it? Why didn't you listen? " Chen Xinniang seemed a little agitated. "Do you know that if you touch these things, it might cause all of us to suffer? If you don't want to go, then leave as soon as possible while the array is not closed! "
"Hmph, if you touch it again, I'll kill you!" Xia Xibin glared at Qiao Enze. "You idiot!"
Xia Xibin saw that Xiao Chen scolded Qiao Enze, so he also scolded.
"You guys …" Qiao Enze was a little depressed. How could he have known that it was just touching the luminous pearl? He didn't expect that there would be danger and he would even be scolded! Especially that Xiao Qiang, he was really annoying. If he didn't say anything, who would have discovered it?
Cheng Tianqiu pulled out the arrow from Qiao Enze's shoulder. There was a barb on it, causing Qiao Enze to grimace in pain. However, seeing that everyone continued to walk forward, he could only quickly keep up, temporarily ignoring the pain in his shoulder.
There was no danger along the way, but there were no treasures either. However, the luminous pearls on both sides of the road could only be seen but not touched.
After walking for a while, a fork appeared in front of them. Chen Xinniang stopped in her tracks and didn't rush forward.
"Chen Xinniang, which path should we take?" Seeing that Chen Xinniang didn't speak for a long time, Mo Xiangyin couldn't help but ask.
"I also don't know. I didn't expect there to be a fork in the road. These two roads seem to be similar. I tried to distinguish them for a long time, but I couldn't find any difference. I also don't know which one to take." Chen Xinniang shook her head and said.
"Ah?" Clayden was also a little dumbfounded. If Chen Xinniang didn't know, then they didn't know either. Actually, according to him, they should just take a random path and return if they couldn't.
However, no one knew if there would be danger if they took the wrong path, so they said, "Then what should we do?"
"Why don't we split up and take one path each? If everyone wants to go this way, then go this way. If everyone wants to go that way, then go that way. What do you think?" Qiao Enze, who had recovered some of his strength at this time, suggested.
"That's a good idea!" Cheng Tianqiu also nodded in agreement.
Chen Xinniang's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible joy, but she quickly concealed it and nodded. "This is also a good idea. Then, let's do it this way. If you want to go this way, then go this way. If you want to go that way, then go as you please!"
"We'll go this way!" Qiao Enze pointed to the right path and said without thinking.
"I'm with him!" Cheng Tianqiu pointed to Qiao Enze and said.
Clayden frowned, obviously unable to come to a decision. He glanced at Xiao Chen, hoping that he could come up with an idea. At this time, Mo Xiangyin hesitated for a moment and stood on the right side, saying, "We'll also go this way!"
"Elder Heaven Ancestor?" Xiao Chen couldn't make up his mind and asked.
"Chen Xinniang, you can go in the opposite direction from her!" Elder Heaven Ancestor suddenly said.
"Oh?" Xiao Chen was surprised. Why must he go in the opposite direction from Chen Xinniang? He was a little puzzled, but since Elder Heaven Ancestor said so, then Elder Heaven Ancestor definitely wouldn't harm him.
Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't answer and pretended to be hesitant. He didn't immediately make a decision and instead asked, "Sister Chen, which way do you want to go?"
"I think I'll go right!" Chen Xinniang said after thinking for a moment.
"Since all of you go right, I'll go left!" Xiao Chen said after thinking for a moment.
"Ah?" Clayden was a little puzzled. Why would Xiao Chen go left? Chen Xinniang was proficient in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and formations. If he followed her, it would be much easier. Why would Xiao Chen choose the opposite direction?
Chen Xinniang was also a little surprised, but she didn't say anything. She only nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Let's go left too!" Granny Nanshan said. It wasn't because of Xiao Chen, but because she felt that it would be easier to split the loot if there were fewer people. As for Chen Xinniang, Granny Nanshan felt that it was a little strange.
Ling 'er naturally followed Granny Nanshan. Clayden hesitated for a moment, but he still chose Chen Xinniang's team. After all, he was the one who found Chen Xinniang and she was proficient in formations. Therefore, he felt that it was safer for Chen Xinniang.
Xiao Chen didn't force the issue. If he spoke now, it would arouse the suspicion of others. Song Huawu and Xia Xibin were definitely on Xiao Chen's side.
Therefore, the number of people on both sides was about the same. Everyone split up and entered the fork.
"Granny Nanshan, where are you from? You seem rather mysterious. " Xiao Chen asked as he walked. This fork was similar to the original path. There was no danger, and there were luminous pearls on both sides.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!" Granny Nanshan didn't answer, but Ling 'er did.
"It's just a few people. It's boring. Let's just have a chat." Xiao Chen said, "At your level, you shouldn't be lacking in spirit jades. Why did you still come here?"
"Why do you have so much to say?" Ling 'er glared at Xiao Chen.
"I wanted to tell you something, but I won't say it if you don't want to." Xiao Chen shrugged. He was a little angry. They had promised to give him spirit jades, but they didn't have them. If there were no spirit jades in the ruins, wouldn't they be going back on their word?
Granny Nanshan stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Xiao Chen. "Why did you disguise yourself and come here? Also, you don't seem to be injured at all. When the formation exploded, it didn't hurt you. You knew about it, so you made preparations, didn't you? "
After saying this, Granny Nanshan's sharp killing intent suddenly appeared. Xiao Chen shivered. He didn't know what level of expert she was. The only thing Xiao Chen felt was that she was powerful. She was too powerful!
Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although his strength had increased, the illusion had lasted longer. Logically speaking, no one could see through it. Clayden hadn't been able to see through it back then! Clayden had only seen through his illusion because he had locked onto his aura and sensed that he wasn't running away. He hadn't seen through it with his eyes.
However, Granny Nanshan was able to see through his disguise. This really surprised Xiao Chen! In theory, neither Demonic Cultivators nor Martial Cultivators could see through Xiao Chen's illusion, unless they were cultivators!
As expected, even an expert like Ling 'er looked at Xiao Chen with slight doubt. She didn't see anything wrong with the person in front of her.
Song Huawu and Xia Xibin, who were behind Xiao Chen, were a little worried. However, they couldn't help at all. After all, their strength was obvious!
